In <i><a href="/wiki/Edwards_v._Arizona" title="Edwards v. Arizona">Edwards v.

Left unanswered was how long this protection applied—when could police resume questioning?<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Michael Shatzer, the respondent in the case, was an inmate in the Maryland penal system, serving time for child sexual abuse. In 2003 police desired to question Shatzer about allegations that he had sexually abused his son. Shatzer declined to speak without his attorney present, at which point the interview ended (per <i>Edwards</i>). The police closed the investigation and Shatzer returned to the prison population. Three years later the police opened a new investigation and again asked to question Shatzer. This time Shatzer waived his right to have an attorney present; only after making incriminating statements did Shatzer ask for an attorney. With this evidence in hand, Shatzer was convicted of sexual child abuse by the <a href="/wiki/Washington_County,_Maryland" title="Washington County, Maryland">Washington County, Maryland</a> circuit court.

The court noted that while it had never spoken on the question of a break in custody, lower courts had affirmed that there was such an exception, and as the court had promulgated the rule in the first place it was obliged to clarify the issue. The purpose of <i>Edwards</i> was to protect a suspect who found himself in unusual circumstances; extending the <i>Edwards</i> rule indefinitely would not meet this aim and have the effect of protecting repeat offenders who "acquired <i>Edwards</i> immunity previously in connection with any offense in any jurisdiction."<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Having declined to extend <i>Edwards</i> indefinitely, the court adopted a standard of 14 days.
